Manford’s Comedy Club are back in 2026 to host the award-winning comedy club at the Forum! They will be returning in February and April 2026 with fantastic new line ups to be confirmed soon!

Manford’s Comedy Club was launched by comedian Jason Manford. The idea was to bring comedians from the UK circuit to small towns and cities across the country for a night of live comedy.

Every show has a different line-up of four top comedians, who are all personally chosen by Jason Manford.

February Line up:

MC: Pete Otway - Since his first gig in 2010, Pete Otway has established himself as a natural and original comic, known for mixing a razor sharp wit with an affable charm and creative writing.

John Fothergill - This lively Geordie is a highly sought-after headline comic with his blend of cocky insults and slick banter.

Ravi Saini

Chris Washington - Rising star Chris Washington is taking the comedy industry and audiences alike by storm. With bags of Northern charm, he had  a hugely successful debut run at the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, during which he received a sparkling nomination for the coveted Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer with his solo stand-up hour Dream Big (Within Reason).

April Line up:

Michael Fabbri
